      Processor

      • The server supports one or two processors.
      • If only one processor is required, install it in socket CPU1.
      • The same model of processors must be used in a server.
      • Contact your local Huawei sales representative or use the Intelligent Computing Compatibility Checker to determine the components to be used.
      Figure 1 Processor positions
       

      FlexIO Cards

      FlexIO cards provide network expansion capabilities.

      • The FlexIO card (with electrical ports) cannot be connected to power over Ethernet (PoE) devices (such as a switch with PoE enabled). Otherwise, link communication failure or even damage to the FlexIO card may be caused.
      • Contact your local Huawei sales representative or use the Intelligent Computing Compatibility Checker to determine the components to be used.

       

      Fans

      • The server supports four fan modules.
      • The fan modules are hot-swappable.
      • The server tolerates failure of a single fan.
      • The fan speed can be adjusted.
      • The same model of fan modules must be used in a server.

  • Up to 16 DDR4 memory modules
  • Max. 2933 MT/s memory speed
  • RDIMM and LRDIMM support
  • The DDR4 memory modules of different types (RDIMM and LRDIMM) and specifications (capacity, bit width, rank, and height) cannot be used together.
NOTE:

The preceding information is for reference only. Use the Intelligent Computing Compatibility Checker to obtain specific information.

Storage

Supports a variety of drive configurations. For details, see Drive Configurations.

  • Supports two M.2 SSDs.
    • M.2 SSDs are supported only when the server is configured with an Avago SAS3004iMR RAID controller card.
    • The drive letter of the M.2 SSDs managed by the Avago SAS3004iMR RAID controller card can be set to sda by modifying the GRUB parameters only when the RAID controller card is used with a PCH.
    NOTE:
    • The M.2 SSD module is used only as the boot device when the OS is installed. Small-capacity (32 GB or 64 GB) M.2 SSDs do not support logging due to poor endurance. If a small-capacity M.2 SSD is used as the boot device, a dedicated log drive or log server is required for logging. For example, you can dump VMware logs in either of the following ways:
    • The M.2 SSD cannot be used to store data due to poor endurance. In write-intensive applications, the M.2 SSD will wear out in a short time.

      Use enterprise-level high endurance (HE) SSDs or HDDs for data storage.

    • The M.2 SSD is not recommended for write-intensive service software due to poor endurance.
    • Do not use the M.2 SSD as the cache.
  • Supports hot swap of SAS/SATA drives.
  • Supports a variety of RAID controller cards. Use the Intelligent Computing Compatibility Checker to obtain information about the specific RAID controller cards supported.
    • The RAID controller card supports RAID configuration, RAID level migration, and drive roaming.
    • The RAID controller card does not occupy a standard PCIe slot.

    For details about the RAID controller card, see Huawei V5 Server RAID Controller Card User Guide.

  • Supports SAS HBA cards or SAS RAID controller card (with a 1 GB, 2 GB, or 4 GB cache) to improve storage performance and data security.
NOTE:

If the BIOS is in legacy mode, the 4K drive cannot be used as the boot drive.

Network

Supports expansion capability of multiple types of networks.

  • LOM
    • Supports two GE electrical ports via the NIC chip integrated on the mainboard.
    • The LOM ports support NC-SI, WOL, and PXE.
  • FlexIO card
NOTE:
  • The electrical ports provided by NICs and FlexIO cards cannot be connected to PoE devices (such as a switch with PoE enabled). Connecting such a port to a PoE device may cause link communication failure or even damage the NIC.
  • Forcibly powering off a server will cause intermittent NC-SI disconnection and disable the WOL function of the LOM ports. To restore the NC-SI connection, refresh the iBMC WebUI.

I/O expansion

8 PCIe 3.0 slots:

  • One slot dedicated for a screw-in RAID controller card, one dedicated for a FlexIO card, and six for standard PCIe cards.

    For details, see PCIe Slots and PCIe Slot Description.

  • Support Huawei proprietary PCIe SSD cards to bolster I/O performance for applications such as searching, caching, and download services.
NOTE:

The preceding information is for reference only. Use the Intelligent Computing Compatibility Checker to obtain specific information.

Ports

Supports a variety of ports.

  • Ports on the front panel:
    • Two USB 2.0 ports
